Kevin made the trip with me.
Walden Rigging - The best there is!
The mast is being removed.
The mast is safely on the ground.
I needed to have the mast removed so that I can fix the compression post pad issue and also to have new standing rigging installed by Walden Rigging. Kevin agreed to head up to Harve de Grace with me on a sunny day with the winds from the SSE 8 to 10 knots and temperatures in the high 80s low 90s. We headed out early to catch the incoming tide. We started out on a starboard close reach moving to a beam as we got out of the river and finally to a broad reach behind pools island. Our average speed was above 5 until the Sassafras River where I dropped the genoa and started motor sailing. I brought the main in while heading up the narrow cut into Harve de Grace. We docked against the wall in basin C portside 2 after going to the end turning right and backing into the bulkhead. Dinner was at an local Italian restaurant after we pulling cotter pins and doing tasks to prepare for mast removal scheduled for Monday.
